Dare to leap higher [Hebrews 11]

While looking in the window of a book shop,I noticed the title of one book,
which read,/The salmon who dared to leap higher/Hebrews 11 is a wonderful account of people who like that salmon dared to leap higher.They are people who believed God,trusted God ,and obeyed God,and in so doing they leaped higher.They dared to go where others would not go, attempted
what others thought was folly.Their vision was on the eternal realms,and they lived in light of that vision.They were prepared to give up kith and kin,to step out not knowing their destination.They  were prepared to sacrifice that which was dearest to them,believing that even death could not hold its prey.They were prepared to gamble everything for their God no half measures.They saw the riches of this world for what they are,of limited value,so they choose the riches that is found in Christ there saviour.In
summing up these people ,one could truly say,by faith in God they dared to leap higher.
                                    A  prayer.
                      Lord lift me up,and let me stand ,
                      By faith, on heaven's table land;
                      Where love,and joy,and light abound,
                       Lord ,plant my feet on higher ground.
